NCP leader demands Oli resign from either PM or party chair

Nepal Communist Party leader Jagannath Khatiwada

Kathmandu, September 27

Nepal Communist Party’s Central Committee member Jagannath Khatiwada has demanded that his party’s Chairman KP Sharma Oli resign from either of the two positions he is holding–the chair and the Prime Minister.

Khatiwada claims Oli continuing both of the positions is against his own principle that one leader should hold one position.

In an interview with Onlinekhabar, Khatiwada says the leaders, while unifying then CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre, had finalised a criteria that none would be given double responsibilities as far as possible. “But, you have assigned the responsibility of provincial incharge of chief ministers,” he questioned the leadership.

A recent meeting of the party Secretariat has appointed chief ministers of Gandaki and Province 5, Prithvi Subba Gurung and Shankar Pokhrel respectively, as the party’s incharge for the provinces.

“The party Chairman has been unable to perform nicely because he is holding the two positions of Chairman and Prime Minister,” he clarifies.
